TH-cam is so weird, he can describe all these brutal, horrific acts, but he has to skirt around the word “suicide” because *that’s* the line for demonetization
yea, like youtube be like "you can describe possibly the worst acts in human history but god forbid you say they killed themselves thats a step too far" i even see that people who make suicide and self-harm awareness videos get demonetized and have to censor
@@arlokenna i dont think you should be bothered about being demonetized if you're spreading awareness of suicide it's not exactly the most liked thing to profit off of other peoples deaths
@@harshjain2047 doctors are all quacks first and foremost so yes they shouldnt be paid but personal opinion on them aside that comparison doesnt really make much sense as i dont think doctors are doing suicide awareness to steal a living
Big thanks to Wendigoon for giving me credit not only in the compilation but the original video as well. Looking back there are definitely things I would have changed - adding some people while possibly excluding others. I was inspired to send the iceberg after seeing the Unsolved True Crime Iceberg and thinking "well I know a lot about serial killers, maybe this community would be interested in this." I'm very happy to see how receptive the audience was to the content, and I'm glad to see how far Wendigoon has come. I'm glad everyone liked it! And thanks again to Wendigoon for making an image I threw together in Photoshop in an hour so entertaining.
My father is buried next to Paul Bernardo’s second victim, Leslie Mahaffy, I always make sure her shrine is clean, she went to my high school and my dad actually babysat her
@@killap3nguin yeah let me just go an hour and however long deep into a video about countless serial killers and find one random one and say that I had my dad had a personal connection to a victim, not sure how I’m supposed to prove it to you, but if you want the 17 year old to go to his fathers grave and show you then by all means
@@SometimesDeadAndBuriedpeople lie on the internet all the time for no reason. As of right now there is no reason to believe then or disbelieve them. Id like to think its true so thats what ill go with but what ever you believe it will have minimal impact regardless
My favorite thing about the Richard Ramirez case is that the mob that caught him was actually a group of teenagers. Ramirez was attempting to break into an elderly woman’s car before her grandson and his friends beat him with baseball bats.
The best part of this video was watching Wendigoon get increasingly annoyed whenever one of the killers had a cool nickname. Also, in case anyone is curious, I looked up Luis Garavito since the video said that he was up for parole some time this year, and I have good news. Not only did he not get released from prison, he died in October.
Yes, it’s just the names these people deserve in reality lol. Thank goodness he didn’t get parole and is gone. Didn’t need to waste another breath here.
I believe Simon Whistler has a very recent video on him. Either on his decoding the unknown or the casual criminalist channel. It was a phenomenal overview on his story. Almost 2 hours long I believe. And Simon smoked a cigar in celebration when he told us that the fvcker died due to eye cancer
To add on to Ted Bundy’s execution, people turned off all their electricity in their homes across the nation to make the shock of the electric chair harsher so he would feel more pain. Wild man!
At 4:00:18 when he mentioned "James Dean" my first thought was, "isn't he the president?" The brain rot is setting in from watching The Monument Mythos videos.
Idk if these previous comments are jokes or not but im pretty sure ive heard a thousand times by a hundred different people that he's probably dead or geriatric in a nursing homeby now given the time that it happened and the supposed age of the Zodiac at the time
While listening to the second tier I started wondering something: What were to happen if a hitchhiking serial killer got in the car of a serial killer that picks up hitchhikers?
FYI for everyone here, Garavito (the Colombian child murderer up for parole in 2023 that may have killed ~400 people) died of cancer two months ago (and painfully so if you watch a picture of him). Divine justice everyone.
The Vampire is honestly the worst case I've ever gone into. Wendigoon doesn't go into the details, but once of the crime scenes involved a missing infant. When they went into Chase's apartment to find the baby, there was blood everywhere, including the child's DNA in a blender. One of the worst human beings I've ever researched.
@@dalpaengi Being criminally insane and clinically insane are not the same. While he was, by all matters of clinical expectation, absolutely and ludicrously consumed by madness, he still executed his _crimes_ with an uncharacteristic degree of caution, indicating he can comprehend the resulting consequences. The insanity defense only works if you can reliably prove the character lacks the mental faculty and capacity to avoid committing the crimes DC Comic's the Joker is a criminal who is insane, but he's not _criminally insane_ because he shows enough awareness of the world and how it operates to acknowledge that murder is bad, yet he does it anyway. Not to compare a real life serial killer to a fictitious character, but the comparison should hopefully explain how pleading insanity works
@@VillagerVic it feels disrespectful to explain what richard chase did to his victims in this context, so i'll redirect you to his murderpedia instead. the "straw" that crystalpop was referring to took place during his final murder. i wouldn't recommend reading richard's entire murderpedia unless you're _truly_ curious. the details of his murders are genuinely appalling- i felt physically nauseous reading several parts.
@@midnightdimensions13 funny you say that. my coworkers thought he was making too big a deal about it it since he never killed anyone on that property and hadn’t lived there since the 90s
I did a full school research on this topic specifically - I created a full timeline of Gary Ridgway's killings, and then compiled all of the information I could about the forensic evidence that got him captured. It was weirdly interesting but I felt sick. I eventually ended up creating a full list of his victims, their ages, and when they were found so I could feel better because I had commemorated them in some way.
@@mordantmeg I remember him getting caught when I was in high school. It was a big deal. The contractor kept saying “he took so many girls” and that there was no amount of money we could offer him that would make him step foot on the property
Fun fact: John Wayne Gayce was friends with two Nickelodeon producers that worked on shows like Drake and Josh, iCarly, Victorious, etc. specifically he was friends with the guy that assaulted Drake Bell (I forgot his name) and (of course) Dan Schneider.
Gacy was a member of a Democrat organization called the Junior Chamber, as were Ed Kemper, Bill Clinton, Richard Nixon, and Bill Gates. Gacy also had connections with Dean Corll who, in turn, had connections with John David Norman. Norman was imprisoned multiple times for trafficking through several “publication” companies in Chicago. We don’t know the full list of the company’s 20,000 clients because the records mysteriously disappeared in a fire. Also, Gacy made 12 copies of the key where the bodies were found. The Channel Flesh Simulator has a video called The History of Project Delta with lots more interesting info.

@@tylerlinderman9255how is this porn? I can understand your point somewhat but overall the people interesting in these serial killer stories aren’t interested in the dark murders, but more interested in how someone can reach the point of being this evil and even enjoy the acts. It’s such a contract of my personal feelings towards harming people that it’s intriguing. Also I often reflect on how I can act to avoid other people going down these paths
Stomach dropped hearing you say that Garavito guy was up for parole in 2023, looked it up and he died on October 12th this year in prison🎉🎉🎉🎉 Child predators rot in the dustiest pits of hell.
Imagine checking a serial killer iceberg video where there tends to be different tiers, and a man doesn't just get his own tier, but takes up half the video 😭
Honestly you can make a whole doc series based on the horrific shit he did he was linked to free masons and handed out CIA books to people he met was funded from the tapes he made a lot of crazy shit about him if you look hard enough
@harrytowers1076 it was a meme a few years ago. I think the implication was because he was super creepy and strange. Also I think it was suggested that his father could have done it. But that's just what I remember lol
@harrytowers1076 during presidential debates a guy in the crowd had a sign asking if he was the zodiac killer. He didn't deny it. So basically it's canon now.
Wendigoon is my absolute favorite youtuber, i'm am literally sitting in a hospital bed rewatching all of his videos. watching him has helped me get through a breakup, a heart transplant, and many other unfortunate events. for that I thank you.
The Golden State killer is wild bc when I was in college, one of my professors was talking about him and how he was never found and we were all disgusted. And literally over the weekend they finally caught him lol
i was at the police academy when they got him, like 40 mins away. coincidentally one of my classmates lived on the same street as him. no one ever even had a thought about it
Whenever you mention the fact that the killers have such cool nicknames, it made me think of that one serial killer character in GTA4 which had an entire gag about how the public couldn't settle on what cool nickname he should be called in the media.

A huge part of Dean Corll that never got mentioned is that he is credited as being the original "Candyman". His family owned and operated a candy factory, and would take candy home with him to pass out for free to children in the rough part of town. And by doing that he was able to convince his two accomplices that he was a trustworthy good guy years before he started using them to round up victims for him
Have you listened to The Clown and The Candyman ID Podcast? He and JWG were definitely part of a larger hitman group involved with kidnapping and p@3d0stuff.

Yes 🙌🏼 It is very important to draw the link between serial killers and childhood abuse, while being aware that there are so many strong survivors that DIDNT become monsters. It can serve as an explanation while not excusing a single thing.
There's also a strong correlation between sexual abuse in childhood and homosexualism. And 48% of homosexuals tirn outnto be ped0philic... But watch this comment get hit with a hate speech violation for stating facts.
The difference between victims and predators is the choice to change the cycle of abuse. It’s harder to grow than to become a monster but that’s what makes us strong. Keep pushing people! 💪
Indeed. I think in general people need to grasp that explaining something is not excusing it, and nothing is absolute with humans so an explanation for one person doesn't necessarily apply to every similar person.
My aunt was nearly killed by Gary Ridgway as a teen. She picked him up in her truck as a hitchhiker in Greensboro. She asked him his name, and he said his name was Ray Romano. (???) She didn't know who that is so she was just like "ok!" She asked him where he wanted to go and he said "I need to go to my Brother's place, to 'start over.'" And she was a bit intrigued by this. After some talking, he shows her a picture of his son (as it turns out, this was a common ploy for him.) Eventually, they stop at a truck stop for gas, and she buys him a little Hallmark card and writes in it "Good luck at your new life with your brother!" or something like that. She gives it to him, and he looks at it with astonishment. he says like "I've never gotten a *card* before..." and then promptly shoves it in his underwear. obv she's like ":D! Wow! Ok! This is normal!" and they start driving again. Eventually, she notices that he's just started Shaking. like he was just quaking in his boots in the seat next to her. and eventually he just says "Let me out of the car." while they're just on the freeway or whatever. And so she says "No, there's literally nothing here, I'm not just gonna drop you off the side of the road." and he says again "Let me out now." and so they argue for a while, but eventually, she lets him out of the truck. Afterwards, she goes back to her apartment with her 2 roommates and is like "Huh I had this weird hitchhiker who said his name was Ray Romano--" and her roommates were like "YOU. ARE *SO* STUPID." Then later, and I mean Years later, her and one of those roommates were in some hotel or something. But the TV was on, tuned into one of those "America's most wanted" channels, and a profile for Gary Ridgway comes on. Her roommate looks at it and recognizes the description (along with the time and place) and is like "is this you guy?????" while it's talking about Americas Most Prolific Serial Killers Ever. and she was like "Holy shit thats my guy" And it made sense to her, too -- she thought it was weird that this guy said he had "never gotten a card before" because that just seemed weird and unlikely to her, but if she was supposed to be a victim, then it made sense that he had never gotten a card from anyone he was trying to kill before. Also, she discovered that the place where they were driving to had been one of his popular "dump sites" too. so. thats also cool and fun So yeah! My aunt almost got murdered by Gary Ridgway but probably got saved by a Christmas card. And she told this over a house party like it was any other story. anyways, 43:05 brought back some memories, lmao.
I'm glad the serial killer in my area was able to get help while incarcerated and made the effort to rejoin society as a good man. Something about being called the "Stupid Baby Man" in the press got to him and made him rethink his life
Seriously! The "cool names" need to stop. Especially with the school shooters. Imagine being called like, "the awkward virgin" or something similarly embarrassing instead of "the night stalker." I'm pretty sure violent crimes would decrease at least by a little.
@@bunnyluver2176Hard agree. Imagine getting assaulted & then people nickname your assailant "Butcher Beast of Berlin." Making them seem way cooler than the losers they actually are
3:30:00 good news! I followed up on this case and it appears that Garavito died in Oct. (2023) before he was released. this case really haunted me when hearing about it initially, so after hearing about it again, I genuinely feel Devine intervention prevented this man from hurting any more children.
@Somerasonstolive @pandelik4450 I think that free will is what allowed the atrocity to begin with, evil still exists. But the fact that he died months before he was scheduled to be let out with the knowledge that he was going to commit those acts again (he said he was going to become a priest or adjacent to be near kids again) is just Divine timing. I don't believe in coincidences. Therefore, it's not for clicks or views im genuinely really grateful that this won't continue. that breaks my heart to even suggest I wrote that comment to gain attention, it was just a case that devastated me when I first learned about it.

Some people have asked me why I, as a man, let my hair grow so long. First because it looks good, but more importantly the last time I had it short a 7 year old said to me "You look like Jeffery Dahmer but a good version." And it haunts me to this day.
@@moon16879 I knew who Jeffery Dahmer was as a 7-year-old. My mom was working on a degree in criminal justice at the time and I got into some of her books. Isn’t necessarily a weird thing.
Not to depersonalize what Karl Denke did by comparing it to a game, but when you mentioned goat meat, the fact that he lived in an apartment, the fact that he sold meat as a butcher, and how he was known in the community REALLY reminded me of the chapter “The Bologna Incident” from Sally Face, in which a teacher was kidnapping people and turning them into bologna and then selling it to the school she worked at. I wonder if Steve Gabry knew about this case and took inspiration of it in his game

One note on Popkov and his 'cool' name. In russian language the same word 'oboroten' can be translated to english as 'a werewolf' and as 'a shapeshifter'. There is a common phrase used to describe a corrupted and/or wicked in some way police officer - 'oboroten v pogonah' - which can be translated as 'a shapeshifter in shoulder straps' or 'a werewolf in epaulets' or some combination of these words. This phrase has no positive connotation whatsoever and there is nothing cool about it since people in russia are genereally really familliar with corrupted law enforcement and levels of distain for this kind of people are through the roof. Popkov was mostly called 'oboroten' because of this and not because of his ferocity.
A detail I cant believe wasn't mentioned; Dennis Nilsen wasn’t only close to his sister, he was also incredibly close to his maternal grandfather (who he was named after). Said grandfather was a sailor and ended up dying while out at sea, Dennis wasn’t informed of this until he came home to his mother crying one day. He asked her what was wrong and she just said "Your grandfather's come home, go and look". He walked into the kitchen, expecting to see his beloved grandfather back as normal, instead found a casket, didn't know what it was, and looked inside to see his grandfather’s body. He was FIVE YEARS OLD. In his teenage years he would also later purposefully drown himself to 'feel closer' to his grandfather. The whole thing with his sister was definitely weird but imo his relationship with his grandfather was way more what put him on the path he ended up on Also my former teacher used to work at his prison, and said he was the most arrogant man she'd met, and no one there liked him much.

I can't find anyone else mentioning this: the Jack the Ripper victims weren't all sex workers but because the paperwork management of the 1880s was terrible and media tended to invent narratives, they were all slumped together with one confirmed sex worker victim because an 'upstanding, proper woman wouldn't be wandering the streets at night unless they were working the streets'. There's a wonderful book by Hallie Rubenhold called 'The Five: The Untold Lives of Women Killed by Jack the Ripper' which looks at all five confirmed victims' lives from birth and explains the false claim about all five being sex workers.
Congratulations. User 161 Your history has deemed you a suitable candidate and have been volunteered for our partisan program. Please veiw the introductory course.
@@aerickmon3350 The commonality will all (except for the final one) was that they were without shelter. Basically sleeping on the streets. White Chapel was an extremely impoverished part of London at the time.
I believe the media always has and always will invent narratives. They have the power to sway the court of public opinion, and can be easily bought. Each outfit carries one political bias or another and is completely capable of framing one as guilty or innocent. There’s no such thing as objectivity with them, and scrutiny has been completely abolished. It’s all trash collected by the eyes and dumped into the brain, brought to you by Pfizer.
You’re not entirely right about that but not entirely wrong either. It’s pretty agreed upon at this point by most researchers that all 5 victims were engaging in prostitution of some kind, and the notion that only a sex worker would be out at night is not from nothing, there really isn’t any reason those women would have been out at night talking to men they don’t know and following them to secluded areas unless they were prostitutes. However it’s not as simple as “they were prostitutes”, as some of the victims were looking for shelter or money, and sex work or otherwise “partnering” with a man were simply a means to an end so they could have a place to sleep. The media was wrong for being so disrespecting to the victims for the circumstances they were in, but the message “don’t follow strangers to secluded places at night” probably didn’t hurt. And I still believe his motive was something to do with hatred of sex workers, he just didn’t know or care about their circumstances.
Honestly, I really appreciate the little bit at the end about the world not being an awful place and how this is only a small percentage of the world. I love true crime but I find sometimes i spiral and get really anxious about this kind of stuff on the flipside. I really appreciated hearing that
Just for anyone who was curious about changes in these cases since the original serial killer iceberg was published, I did a bit or research and compiled together what I found.

The end of Karla Homolka is more depressing than any of the unidentified cases who “didn’t got caught” like Jack, the Zodiac, The Doodler, The Mesa Bone Collector etc Everyone knows who she is, how she looks, and what she did, and she’s been released, and it’s apparently living a perfectly normal life. This is “getting away with it”. No fear of being caught like DeAngelo and others who “thought” they got away with it. She just walked out through the front door - with most of her life ahead - and have nothing to fear. She faced “the law” and she won. This would break me as a relative of one of the victims of her and the freakish hubby of hers. There will never be even the expectation of justice. It’s a laugh at the face of the victims. I vowed never to fedpost, but goddamn… Well, here’s the implication of how I would like to conclude this rant.
Hey Wendigoon, minor correction on one thing. Alice’s Restaurant isn’t about wanting to kill someone, but a satire of how the US would send criminals to fight in Vietnam. The main character nearly gets drafted for littering, and the only reference to killing is him drunkenly attending a therapy session, screaming about killing everyone in the war before a Sergeant overhears and gives him a medal saying that’s what they’re looking for. Still, imagining that guy playing it in court is a fever dream.
I literally just left a comment about this then scrolled down and say this lol. Also, the song starts by Arlo Guthrie saying "this is a song about Alice, and a restaurant" If the song was about killing, Arlo would've said "this is a song about killing"
Ironically the uncle Richard ramirez was a green beret that served in Vietnam. But he was a psychopath himself and often raped and took photos of the war crimes he committed and liked showing them to a young Richard. I wonder if psych evaluations for military service were a thing back then

I fell In love with this channel because of the diversity of topics you manage to cover while remaining respectful, interesting, and informative. Your personality and the way you present these topics makes them much easier to digest.
I have to say, the most amusing thing about all of this is watching Wendi slowly lose his mind to the names the public give the murderers. Honestly, same.
2:29:30 "The Werewolf" actually comes not from his ferocity, but because in Russian the common name for police officers who are breaking the law while still in the force is "werewolves with epaulets" (bc they transform to criminals from policemen, obviously).
Yes! Another mega compilation to add to my “really long wendigoon video sleep playlist”. It’s almost odd that I watch videos describing horrifying things to sleep but his voice and cadence is so relaxing
as someone who is British and has seen a lot about Fred and Rose West - wanted to correct(?) that they weren’t innkeepers, they actually often invited hitchhikers or runaway girls to stay at their house, essentially preying on young girls who had nowhere else to go. There are some great documentaries on Paramount plus that definitely go into a lot more detail about the whole prostitution thing and their general MO with the murders. Basically they weren’t innkeepers, all of this carnage was occurring in their residence down an average street in Britain. A big reason they got away with it for quite a while was that Fred was a builder and turned their basement into a strange torture room - his experience in building aided his ability to hide the bodies in the house’s walls itself too.
Another part of why they got away with it for so long is the area was rife with child abusing deviants who cover for each other. Look up David and Pauline Williams, they ran the Prince Albert Pub nerby and knew Fred and Rose. There are whole hidden sections of society that get away with this stuff for decades, maybe forever if they are good at covering for each other and have their tentacles into the local press and law enforcement.
@@TheDutchessOfCornvilleTimesuck the podcast has an amazing episode on it if you don’t mind dark Humor it’s one of, if not, the best podcast. Period. Hail Nimrod and welcome to the cult of the curious meat sack 🎉
This video knocks me out so consistently that I've started listening to it to fall asleep. I really shouldn't because it's about real life murder, but no video has this effect on me.
I’m surprised you didnt mention Albert Fish also wrote letters to his victims parents describing what parts of their children tasted the best. Actually Nevermind, why would you.
Didn’t Grace’s brother (Edward was his name I think?) have to read the letter he wrote about her to their mom because she couldn’t read? I remember hearing that somewhere.
The Luis Garavito one disturbs me because I don't even want to image the sheer state he left those poor kids in when he killed them. And the fact he _almost_ got out is terrifying (for those wondering: He died before he had the oppertunity to finish his sentence).
Lopez’s case is worse, he killed up to 67 (assumed to be 300~) young girls. Yet he only stayed in jail 10 years, and was released from a psychology ward. His whereabouts are unknown, but he did say that once he gets out that he’ll just go back to reoffending. He is also Colombian, and possible was on a killing spree in the same time period as Garavito.
All the serial killers who committed multiple murders and hot away with it until they slipped up once makes me wonder about all the people out there who surely have murdered just one person and never been caught. If it's possible for people to go on with killing a handful of people, a dozen, maybe more, it seems so plausible that there must be single murders out there that nobody has even thought to investigate as such with the perpetrators living normal lives still.
Oh there are. Statistics get thrown around all the time but whatever the percent of cold case murders is, it’s way higher than what people would expect
There were three serial killers in the city I grew up in (that were caught) that were active while I was growing up there and I think about this more than I'd like to admit
Even serial events, if you’re smart enough you don’t get caught. We catch dumb and reckless, and sometimes unlucky. The guys who know what they’re doing… man they probably just REAP
one thing i like about this entire video is that it's not too "serious". it's serious topics with insanely sad stories, but Wendigoon also jokes around a bit and I like that his jokes are still funny while being tasteful. a lot of youtubers i find usually make jokes at the victims expense or just make it seem like what happened wasn't important, but Wendigoon doesn't do that. i love it
First time I heard of that was Cook-Cook from Fallout: New Vegas and learned it was a real thing after he SA'd a female character in the game an NCR member IIRC.
I still remember clicking on my first Wendigoon video, you were around 42k subs at the time. It’s pretty amazing to see a TH-camr go through so much success so quickly and still produces content that reminds you of why you clicked to begin with but also constantly improving the formula. Great video!
I remember joining the Wendigang right near the end of this iceberg and I was hooked. It's crazy how far you've come my guy, you're a great creator and I love every video you put out. You always take a very respectful approach to your topics and it shines through in these kinds of videos
i don’t see wendigoon’s comment about updated info, so i’m gonna do my best to compile the updates on trials, jail status, etc, here: 11:07 (Son of Sam) - still in prison, his parole hearing for May of 2024 was denied and his next hearing is scheduled for May 2026. 44:37 (Gary Ridgeway) - in January of 2024, the last known remains linked to Ridgeway were identified as belonging to 16-year-old Tammie Liles 1:03:30 (Robert Pickton) - on May 31, 2024, Pickton died at age 74 after he was attacked by another inmate on the 19th. 1:16:10 (Herbert Mullin) - on August 18, 2022, Mullin died at age 75 from natural causes 1:21:31 (Paul Bernardo) - Bernardo’s parole hearing was scheduled for February 2024, but i cannot find anything about what came of it 1:33:04 (Rodney Alcala) - on July 24, 2021, Alcala died at age 77 of unspecified natural causes 3:21:10 (Luis Garavito) - on October 12, 2023, Garavito died at age 66, possibly from terminal cancer i may have missed some and there’s definitely details i’m overlooking, but i wanted to add what i could :)
David Parker Ray "The Toy Box Killer" really makes me sick. I never heard the story about the man divorcing his wife though. Imagine going through such a horrific r*pe then having your husband think you were a lying cheater...honestly she's better off without someone like him in her life.
He got the full story wrong. She was brought straight to her family by David himself. The police found her identity due to a tattoo the women had in a video he recorded. It was a unique tattoo and she came forth, not knowing that it even happened, it was all just a "dream"
@@swiftbombzz8018 David didn't bring her to her family, I'm pretty sure she was dumped off the side of the road or just left behind in general. She was identified in the video by a tattoo of a peach, I THINK. It's been a few months since I last heard the story
To add insult to injury, seeing his name forces me to contemplate his actions while involuntarily saying "I ain't afraid of no ghosts!" at the same time.
My grandpa actually served alongside William Bonin as a door gunner on a helicopter. They only went out a few times but my grandpa hated him and said he was weird.
I'm actually a psychology major and I'm working with my professor on a research project about serial killers (studying patterns and similarities and whatnot) and we have to make a spreadsheet of them. I know you don't want to come off like you're romanticizing them but for me, this video is actually incredibly helpful because Google's only giving me the most infamous ones. So... thank you good sir
I’m interested in the roles of female vs male aggressors. With sex crimes, for example, most of the female aggressors involved in these cases seem to be romantically involved with a male aggressor who is usually the ring leader. She usually finds and lures the victims to the male, and the sexual acts she performs seem to be more for the pleasure of her boyfriend. Of course, there are huge differences between male and female serial killers too. (Exceptions of course)
@@StanAndKylePlushmost likely not haha. I mean if you have thought of doing those things, definitely talk to someone professional but in no way would hitting your head in any way(or having any head injuries) do that. These people are just vile because they want to be. Fuck em🖕
Update on the Paul Bernardo case: He did not, in fact, make parole, and has been transferred to a higher security prison. Edit: I was mistaken, he was actually transferred from high to medium security.
@@savanafehr5157 my apologies, the article I read stated it in a confusing way, saying basically he was transferred to medium security from high security.
Fun fact about Ed Kemper: Him and the police were very close. So much so they hung out with him at a bar where lots of police officers were regulars. Not only that, some officers gave him training cuffs, access to guns, and a fake badge. He applied to be a state trooper but he ended up being too tall/heavy. He was so close to them that when he tried to turn himself in, they didn't believe him 👍. when they eventually did pick him up, (very very very alleged/debated) he sat in the front seat
it was a bar where cops were frequently drinking :D not a "police only bar"....who would even make a bar where only cops would be allowed? :D that's cute :D
I know right!? Even tho the whole world swears they sentence people worse with kids including but it's such bullshit, they don't get anything worse than a normal kidnapper would! It's mind boiling
@@Senrann I feel like the only punishment is other inmates if they even find out and even then they put them in protection if they keep getting beat up....they are protecting pedos Bru huh
What is TCAP? And yeah, it’s almost like they don’t care about kids at all… IMHO as a survivor of abuse, it feels like something that should be second only to murder. When I was in the midst of my trauma, death seemed preferable - and I’m only glad now after years of therapy that I’m alive, but the way abuse destroys someone so systematically and thoroughly…. It haunts you. I can’t imagine how much worse it would be for someone who doesn’t have the resources or support to get help.
@@atsumehana8211 so true. I couldn't imagine no type of support or not being believed or just anything. TCAP is the show with Chris Hansen called To catch a predator where the dudes met fake online "decoys" who were just police using to it lure in predators. And they mostly got off with light sentences the worst part is that many of them were or became repeat offenders upwards of 3 times... But yeah let those mfs out lol
I'm so glad you discussed that Lucas was probably lying about most of his confessions. A lot of people miss this. I was just thinking, I think there is a story there about how we treat the unhoused. Lucas was homeless most of his life and working odd jobs wherever he could. It occurred to me that he probably found prison a better situation than freedom, so decided to ensure that he was never getting out.
Also he seems to have been at least somewhat mentally disabled/delayed, and was being heavily coached into confessing and being fed the relevant details by the Texas ranger who was 'responsible' for him. He tried to recant a lot of his confessions when he realised the death penalty was a possibility, and even had someone pretend to be his 'secretly still alive' girlfriend that he actually had murdered, to say that he had never murdered anyone except his mother. Having watched the Netflix doc on him and several interviews, he was most definitely lying about the majority of his crimes for the benefits, and just didn't have the capacity to think through what 'confessing to 100+ murders' actually meant
When I lived in California, I remember seeing Richard Ramirez walking down a sidewalk near my home. He didn't look at me, but he had this cold deranged look on his face, and he looked like he was hurrying to get somewhere. I'll never forget this. I was genuinely frightened and shocked because his mugshot was all over the place so I immediately recognized him.
@@ZiggyPlayedGuitar1225why would they call police to testify seeing the guy walking down the street? And if you mean before the mugshot, regular people don't call police on others just because they look spooky
fr like 😭😭 edit: some of these people would shiver in their boots if they learned that focusing on a certain part of something doesnt equal ignoring the entirety of it 😛 😙
did you just miss all the mention of the boys and men? tbh lets not make this a gender thing these people are evil yes some towards women but many towards boys and men theyre not any less of a victim just because theyre male
The fact you didn't talk about Von Einem is really nice touch. I visited Australia twice and unfortunately contrary to long distances between the cities and sometimes literall isolation of some places, they know this bastard everywhere. He is living horror.

I remember listening to the first tiers when it came out. I would listen to your videos when I did office cleaning at night. One time during cleaning I was listening to these tiers, naturally feeling a little bit on edge while cleaning alone at night. I’m guessing one of the office workers left something so they came back to grab it and gave me the biggest fright of my life. They apologised and we had a good laugh, I told them I was listening to serial killer “stories” and they laughed why I would listen to such things while cleaning alone, i questioned why myself as well after that hahah. Thanks for the good (somewhat scary) nostalgic memories!
They thought so highly of Kemper during his first run through the system, that the staff was allowing him to counsel other patient-inmates for their psychological issues. I learned a lot about him as told by my college professor years ago whom had professional access to Kemper (and many other SK's) due to working contractually with the government as a Forensic Criminal Psychologist and Profiler. The professor's name is Dr. Eric Hickey and has published a handful of in-depth books. He was technically my Sociology 101 Professor at our Community College so, needless to say, it was an unexpected 'treat' having this man teaching a night class at our city community College. He did also teach at the State University, but would occasionally teach semesters at 'lesser' status schools. So many fascinating stories and curriculum far beyond what's expected for a basic Sociology class.

I think you should do an iceberg on the unsolved killers. I'd love to see that. Great video so far, so soothing its putting me to sleep but so intriguing I keep myself awake.
Wendigoon, I wasn't sure what video to write this on but i wanted to say that when you jokingly ask "is everything okay at home" im now able to laugh and feel a lot better because when i originally started watching they weren't. I've been watching and loving every single one of your videos since around January 2021. Ever since then id put on your videos while i did other things and it was so therapeutic for me to be able to zone out on your videos and focus on something else whether it be the monument mythos, conspiracy theory icebergs, or my personal favorite Dante's Inferno. I remember almost coming to tears (ik... dramatic right? lol) after i had run out of videos to watch on the main channel. I'm sure you get thousands of messages like this and you might not see mine but i just want to add to the thousands and let you know that your content does have a much deeper impact for the positive on lives. Thank you.
I definitely hate as well that the media will often give these guys "cool" nicknames. Like maybe if we just started giving them names like "Asshole Sucker" or something else reflecting the cowards they actually are, then maybe there would be less people glorifying it, cause I have definitely seen a lot of people romanticize these terrible people way too much
@@frankharvey88same thing with the zodiac killer. Tbh, if a serial killer starts referring to themselves with a name…then that name gets reported on, and that becomes who they are. So yeah 😅
I want to add that the Golden State killer was caught with the advice from a woman who wrote a book about the situation, she unfortunately passed away shortly after writing it. It’s called “I’ll Be Gone in the dark“ and she recommended they use ancestral DNA to figure out who the killer was. Which ended up leading right to him if I recall correctly
TH-cam is so weird, he can describe all these brutal, horrific acts, but he has to skirt around the word “suicide” because *that’s* the line for demonetization
yea, like youtube be like "you can describe possibly the worst acts in human history but god forbid you say they killed themselves thats a step too far" i even see that people who make suicide and self-harm awareness videos get demonetized and have to censor
@@arlokenna i dont think you should be bothered about being demonetized if you're spreading awareness of suicide it's not exactly the most liked thing to profit off of other peoples deaths
@@jametonswag950 by that logic we shouldn't be paying doctors too right?
It’s because the societal mental health crisis is a psyop that is deemed as an unacceptable topic to talk about
@@harshjain2047 doctors are all quacks first and foremost so yes they shouldnt be paid but personal opinion on them aside that comparison doesnt really make much sense as i dont think doctors are doing suicide awareness to steal a living
Big thanks to Wendigoon for giving me credit not only in the compilation but the original video as well. Looking back there are definitely things I would have changed - adding some people while possibly excluding others. I was inspired to send the iceberg after seeing the Unsolved True Crime Iceberg and thinking "well I know a lot about serial killers, maybe this community would be interested in this." I'm very happy to see how receptive the audience was to the content, and I'm glad to see how far Wendigoon has come.
I'm glad everyone liked it! And thanks again to Wendigoon for making an image I threw together in Photoshop in an hour so entertaining.

My favorite thing about the Richard Ramirez case is that the mob that caught him was actually a group of teenagers. Ramirez was attempting to break into an elderly woman’s car before her grandson and his friends beat him with baseball bats.
And that guy got girls simping ☠️😭 cmon ladies, have better taste
Brother also has that nasty breath too! Idr what it's called, but he has chronic bad breath
He got beat up by everyone who stood up to him.
Heh, good kids.👍
The best part of this video was watching Wendigoon get increasingly annoyed whenever one of the killers had a cool nickname. Also, in case anyone is curious, I looked up Luis Garavito since the video said that he was up for parole some time this year, and I have good news. Not only did he not get released from prison, he died in October.
Yes, it’s just the names these people deserve in reality lol. Thank goodness he didn’t get parole and is gone. Didn’t need to waste another breath here.
and he died on world children's day, which has to be some sort of divine irony
Result.
I believe Simon Whistler has a very recent video on him. Either on his decoding the unknown or the casual criminalist channel. It was a phenomenal overview on his story. Almost 2 hours long I believe. And Simon smoked a cigar in celebration when he told us that the fvcker died due to eye cancer

The Vampire is honestly the worst case I've ever gone into. Wendigoon doesn't go into the details, but once of the crime scenes involved a missing infant. When they went into Chase's apartment to find the baby, there was blood everywhere, including the child's DNA in a blender. One of the worst human beings I've ever researched.
What the..? I never knew that part. I still don’t get how he was unable to use the insanity defense…
@@dalpaengi Being criminally insane and clinically insane are not the same. While he was, by all matters of clinical expectation, absolutely and ludicrously consumed by madness, he still executed his _crimes_ with an uncharacteristic degree of caution, indicating he can comprehend the resulting consequences. The insanity defense only works if you can reliably prove the character lacks the mental faculty and capacity to avoid committing the crimes
DC Comic's the Joker is a criminal who is insane, but he's not _criminally insane_ because he shows enough awareness of the world and how it operates to acknowledge that murder is bad, yet he does it anyway.
Not to compare a real life serial killer to a fictitious character, but the comparison should hopefully explain how pleading insanity works

I did a full school research on this topic specifically - I created a full timeline of Gary Ridgway's killings, and then compiled all of the information I could about the forensic evidence that got him captured. It was weirdly interesting but I felt sick. I eventually ended up creating a full list of his victims, their ages, and when they were found so I could feel better because I had commemorated them in some way.
@@mordantmeg I remember him getting caught when I was in high school. It was a big deal. The contractor kept saying “he took so many girls” and that there was no amount of money we could offer him that would make him step foot on the property
Fun fact: John Wayne Gayce was friends with two Nickelodeon producers that worked on shows like Drake and Josh, iCarly, Victorious, etc. specifically he was friends with the guy that assaulted Drake Bell (I forgot his name) and (of course) Dan Schneider.
Brian Peckt, I believe his name is.
well well well…
Holy shit bro they're all connected...
To my knowledge there was no connection with Dan Schneider. It was just with Brian Peck because he was like a penpal with JWG or something like that.
Gacy was a member of a Democrat organization called the Junior Chamber, as were Ed Kemper, Bill Clinton, Richard Nixon, and Bill Gates.
Gacy also had connections with Dean Corll who, in turn, had connections with John David Norman. Norman was imprisoned multiple times for trafficking through several “publication” companies in Chicago.
We don’t know the full list of the company’s 20,000 clients because the records mysteriously disappeared in a fire.
Also, Gacy made 12 copies of the key where the bodies were found.

i remember hearing the golden state killer getting arrested, and apparently he lived near my high school which terrifies me to this day
Your professor got so disgusted he went out and caught em himself
yeah dude, i've heard of the case before he was caught, and realized afterwards that i've been living in the same city as him for years :s
i was at the police academy when they got him, like 40 mins away. coincidentally one of my classmates lived on the same street as him. no one ever even had a thought about it
Whenever you mention the fact that the killers have such cool nicknames, it made me think of that one serial killer character in GTA4 which had an entire gag about how the public couldn't settle on what cool nickname he should be called in the media.

A huge part of Dean Corll that never got mentioned is that he is credited as being the original "Candyman". His family owned and operated a candy factory, and would take candy home with him to pass out for free to children in the rough part of town. And by doing that he was able to convince his two accomplices that he was a trustworthy good guy years before he started using them to round up victims for him
Have you listened to The Clown and The Candyman ID Podcast? He and JWG were definitely part of a larger hitman group involved with kidnapping and p@3d0stuff.

The difference between victims and predators is the choice to change the cycle of abuse. It’s harder to grow than to become a monster but that’s what makes us strong. Keep pushing people! 💪
Indeed. I think in general people need to grasp that explaining something is not excusing it, and nothing is absolute with humans so an explanation for one person doesn't necessarily apply to every similar person.
My aunt was nearly killed by Gary Ridgway as a teen.
She picked him up in her truck as a hitchhiker in Greensboro. She asked him his name, and he said his name was Ray Romano. (???) She didn't know who that is so she was just like "ok!" She asked him where he wanted to go and he said "I need to go to my Brother's place, to 'start over.'" And she was a bit intrigued by this. After some talking, he shows her a picture of his son (as it turns out, this was a common ploy for him.) Eventually, they stop at a truck stop for gas, and she buys him a little Hallmark card and writes in it "Good luck at your new life with your brother!" or something like that. She gives it to him, and he looks at it with astonishment. he says like "I've never gotten a *card* before..." and then promptly shoves it in his underwear. obv she's like ":D! Wow! Ok! This is normal!" and they start driving again. Eventually, she notices that he's just started Shaking. like he was just quaking in his boots in the seat next to her. and eventually he just says "Let me out of the car." while they're just on the freeway or whatever. And so she says "No, there's literally nothing here, I'm not just gonna drop you off the side of the road." and he says again "Let me out now."
and so they argue for a while, but eventually, she lets him out of the truck. Afterwards, she goes back to her apartment with her 2 roommates and is like "Huh I had this weird hitchhiker who said his name was Ray Romano--" and her roommates were like "YOU. ARE *SO* STUPID."
Then later, and I mean Years later, her and one of those roommates were in some hotel or something. But the TV was on, tuned into one of those "America's most wanted" channels, and a profile for Gary Ridgway comes on. Her roommate looks at it and recognizes the description (along with the time and place) and is like "is this you guy?????" while it's talking about Americas Most Prolific Serial Killers Ever. and she was like "Holy shit thats my guy"
And it made sense to her, too -- she thought it was weird that this guy said he had "never gotten a card before" because that just seemed weird and unlikely to her, but if she was supposed to be a victim, then it made sense that he had never gotten a card from anyone he was trying to kill before. Also, she discovered that the place where they were driving to had been one of his popular "dump sites" too. so. thats also cool and fun
So yeah! My aunt almost got murdered by Gary Ridgway but probably got saved by a Christmas card. And she told this over a house party like it was any other story. anyways, 43:05 brought back some memories, lmao.
Wow! so being kind saved her life

I'm glad the serial killer in my area was able to get help while incarcerated and made the effort to rejoin society as a good man. Something about being called the "Stupid Baby Man" in the press got to him and made him rethink his life

3:30:00 good news! I followed up on this case and it appears that Garavito died in Oct. (2023) before he was released. this case really haunted me when hearing about it initially, so after hearing about it again, I genuinely feel Devine intervention prevented this man from hurting any more children.
So where was that "divine" intervention when he did hurt kids?
Before he was released? He was sentenced to over 1,000 years….

@Somerasonstolive @pandelik4450 I think that free will is what allowed the atrocity to begin with, evil still exists. But the fact that he died months before he was scheduled to be let out with the knowledge that he was going to commit those acts again (he said he was going to become a priest or adjacent to be near kids again) is just Divine timing.

Not to depersonalize what Karl Denke did by comparing it to a game, but when you mentioned goat meat, the fact that he lived in an apartment, the fact that he sold meat as a butcher, and how he was known in the community REALLY reminded me of the chapter “The Bologna Incident” from Sally Face, in which a teacher was kidnapping people and turning them into bologna and then selling it to the school she worked at.

One note on Popkov and his 'cool' name.
In russian language the same word 'oboroten' can be translated to english as 'a werewolf' and as 'a shapeshifter'. There is a common phrase used to describe a corrupted and/or wicked in some way police officer - 'oboroten v pogonah' - which can be translated as 'a shapeshifter in shoulder straps' or 'a werewolf in epaulets' or some combination of these words. This phrase has no positive connotation whatsoever and there is nothing cool about it since people in russia are genereally really familliar with corrupted law enforcement and levels of distain for this kind of people are through the roof. Popkov was mostly called 'oboroten' because of this and not because of his ferocity.
A detail I cant believe wasn't mentioned; Dennis Nilsen wasn’t only close to his sister, he was also incredibly close to his maternal grandfather (who he was named after). Said grandfather was a sailor and ended up dying while out at sea, Dennis wasn’t informed of this until he came home to his mother crying one day. He asked her what was wrong and she just said "Your grandfather's come home, go and look". He walked into the kitchen, expecting to see his beloved grandfather back as normal, instead found a casket, didn't know what it was, and looked inside to see his grandfather’s body. He was FIVE YEARS OLD. In his teenage years he would also later purposefully drown himself to 'feel closer' to his grandfather. The whole thing with his sister was definitely weird but imo his relationship with his grandfather was way more what put him on the path he ended up on
Also my former teacher used to work at his prison, and said he was the most arrogant man she'd met, and no one there liked him much.
Wow that is a crazy detail. That's why I love these icebergs, it's a brief look into something that can go much deeper with personal research.
Could you drop a time stamp where he talked about him?

I can't find anyone else mentioning this: the Jack the Ripper victims weren't all sex workers but because the paperwork management of the 1880s was terrible and media tended to invent narratives, they were all slumped together with one confirmed sex worker victim because an 'upstanding, proper woman wouldn't be wandering the streets at night unless they were working the streets'. There's a wonderful book by Hallie Rubenhold called 'The Five: The Untold Lives of Women Killed by Jack the Ripper' which looks at all five confirmed victims' lives from birth and explains the false claim about all five being sex workers.
Congratulations. User 161 Your history has deemed you a suitable candidate and have been volunteered for our partisan program. Please veiw the introductory course.
So jack just killed random people then
No like phenomenon in his killings
@@aerickmon3350 The commonality will all (except for the final one) was that they were without shelter. Basically sleeping on the streets. White Chapel was an extremely impoverished part of London at the time.
I believe the media always has and always will invent narratives. They have the power to sway the court of public opinion, and can be easily bought. Each outfit carries one political bias or another and is completely capable of framing one as guilty or innocent. There’s no such thing as objectivity with them, and scrutiny has been completely abolished. It’s all trash collected by the eyes and dumped into the brain, brought to you by Pfizer.
You’re not entirely right about that but not entirely wrong either. It’s pretty agreed upon at this point by most researchers that all 5 victims were engaging in prostitution of some kind, and the notion that only a sex worker would be out at night is not from nothing, there really isn’t any reason those women would have been out at night talking to men they don’t know and following them to secluded areas unless they were prostitutes. However it’s not as simple as “they were prostitutes”, as some of the victims were looking for shelter or money, and sex work or otherwise “partnering” with a man were simply a means to an end so they could have a place to sleep. The media was wrong for being so disrespecting to the victims for the circumstances they were in, but the message “don’t follow strangers to secluded places at night” probably didn’t hurt. And I still believe his motive was something to do with hatred of sex workers, he just didn’t know or care about their circumstances.
Honestly, I really appreciate the little bit at the end about the world not being an awful place and how this is only a small percentage of the world. I love true crime but I find sometimes i spiral and get really anxious about this kind of stuff on the flipside. I really appreciated hearing that
it's easy to notice the bad things and not realize there's a lot of good out there too!

Karla Homolka should not be allowed within 500 ft. Of anyone underage, let alone working at an elementary school.
@@jayclean5653 Yeah, I did a bit of a double take when I read that
I have a letter signed by berkowitz, spilled a beer on it, very sad
The end of Karla Homolka is more depressing than any of the unidentified cases who “didn’t got caught” like Jack, the Zodiac, The Doodler, The Mesa Bone Collector etc
Everyone knows who she is, how she looks, and what she did, and she’s been released, and it’s apparently living a perfectly normal life. This is “getting away with it”. No fear of being caught like DeAngelo and others who “thought” they got away with it. She just walked out through the front door - with most of her life ahead - and have nothing to fear.
She faced “the law” and she won. This would break me as a relative of one of the victims of her and the freakish hubby of hers. There will never be even the expectation of justice. It’s a laugh at the face of the victims.
I vowed never to fedpost, but goddamn… Well, here’s the implication of how I would like to conclude this rant.
I just got to the Luis Garavito part, Thank God.
Hey Wendigoon, minor correction on one thing. Alice’s Restaurant isn’t about wanting to kill someone, but a satire of how the US would send criminals to fight in Vietnam. The main character nearly gets drafted for littering, and the only reference to killing is him drunkenly attending a therapy session, screaming about killing everyone in the war before a Sergeant overhears and gives him a medal saying that’s what they’re looking for.
Still, imagining that guy playing it in court is a fever dream.
yeah, that song is like 20 minutes long. cannot believe everyone sat through the full playing of it... but also, iconic move
TH-camr sjlemme did a good video about the song (that's shorter than the song itself)
I literally just left a comment about this then scrolled down and say this lol. Also, the song starts by Arlo Guthrie saying "this is a song about Alice, and a restaurant"
If the song was about killing, Arlo would've said "this is a song about killing"
Ironically the uncle Richard ramirez was a green beret that served in Vietnam. But he was a psychopath himself and often raped and took photos of the war crimes he committed and liked showing them to a young Richard. I wonder if psych evaluations for military service were a thing back then

I have to say, the most amusing thing about all of this is watching Wendi slowly lose his mind to the names the public give the murderers. Honestly, same.
Luis Garavito actually died two months ago, just when he was up for parole. Justice at its finest.
When
Yep i know
even more so bc i hope he was excited to get out and got to have that hope ripped away from him

Watching Wendi is like being a part of cult where we gather around to listen to his wisdom
Lmao

So. A cult. What are we called ?
you tube just slapped this in my feed a year to date (almost) after it came out. glad to watch it! keep up the awesome work.

"The Werewolf" actually comes not from his ferocity, but because in Russian the common name for police officers who are breaking the law while still in the force is "werewolves with epaulets" (bc they transform to criminals from policemen, obviously).
Yes! Another mega compilation to add to my “really long wendigoon video sleep playlist”. It’s almost odd that I watch videos describing horrifying things to sleep but his voice and cadence is so relaxing
as someone who is British and has seen a lot about Fred and Rose West - wanted to correct(?) that they weren’t innkeepers, they actually often invited hitchhikers or runaway girls to stay at their house, essentially preying on young girls who had nowhere else to go. There are some great documentaries on Paramount plus that definitely go into a lot more detail about the whole prostitution thing and their general MO with the murders. Basically they weren’t innkeepers, all of this carnage was occurring in their residence down an average street in Britain. A big reason they got away with it for quite a while was that Fred was a builder and turned their basement into a strange torture room - his experience in building aided his ability to hide the bodies in the house’s walls itself too.
They sound absolutely awful…I’m definitely going to check out some of the documentaries you suggested! Thank you so much for sharing ❤
they had many lodgers
Beans and toast country
Another part of why they got away with it for so long is the area was rife with child abusing deviants who cover for each other. Look up David and Pauline Williams, they ran the Prince Albert Pub nerby and knew Fred and Rose. There are whole hidden sections of society that get away with this stuff for decades, maybe forever if they are good at covering for each other and have their tentacles into the local press and law enforcement.
@@TheDutchessOfCornvilleTimesuck the podcast has an amazing episode on it if you don’t mind dark Humor it’s one of, if not, the best podcast. Period.
Hail Nimrod and welcome to the cult of the curious meat sack 🎉
This video knocks me out so consistently that I've started listening to it to fall asleep.
I really shouldn't because it's about real life murder, but no video has this effect on me.
I’m surprised you didnt mention Albert Fish also wrote letters to his victims parents describing what parts of their children tasted the best. Actually Nevermind, why would you.
Didn’t Grace’s brother (Edward was his name I think?) have to read the letter he wrote about her to their mom because she couldn’t read? I remember hearing that somewhere.
Poor guy's probably worried about demonitization.
This guy sounds like a real jerk
He literally started talking about him as I saw your comment.
Man Albert Fish, this guy was a real jerk!
The Luis Garavito one disturbs me because I don't even want to image the sheer state he left those poor kids in when he killed them. And the fact he _almost_ got out is terrifying (for those wondering: He died before he had the oppertunity to finish his sentence).
Lopez’s case is worse, he killed up to 67 (assumed to be 300~) young girls. Yet he only stayed in jail 10 years, and was released from a psychology ward. His whereabouts are unknown, but he did say that once he gets out that he’ll just go back to reoffending. He is also Colombian, and possible was on a killing spree in the same time period as Garavito.
@@ameliorateepoch9917 Do you think Lopez is dead? Since we haven't heard (hopefully) of any more crimes similar to his.
All the serial killers who committed multiple murders and hot away with it until they slipped up once makes me wonder about all the people out there who surely have murdered just one person and never been caught. If it's possible for people to go on with killing a handful of people, a dozen, maybe more, it seems so plausible that there must be single murders out there that nobody has even thought to investigate as such with the perpetrators living normal lives still.
Oh there are. Statistics get thrown around all the time but whatever the percent of cold case murders is, it’s way higher than what people would expect
In Chicago alone there are hundreds of unsolved ones every year
@@justrandomthings8158I was watching a cop podcast a while back they said it's more than half go unsolved
There were three serial killers in the city I grew up in (that were caught) that were active while I was growing up there and I think about this more than I'd like to admit
Even serial events, if you’re smart enough you don’t get caught. We catch dumb and reckless, and sometimes unlucky. The guys who know what they’re doing… man they probably just REAP
one thing i like about this entire video is that it's not too "serious". it's serious topics with insanely sad stories, but Wendigoon also jokes around a bit and I like that his jokes are still funny while being tasteful. a lot of youtubers i find usually make jokes at the victims expense or just make it seem like what happened wasn't important, but Wendigoon doesn't do that. i love it
"'Sexual Arsonist" sounds like a punk rock band name, and it makes me laugh too much
Could also be a very pretentious no wave/art rock band from somewhere in Europe
@@Nantosuelta I love the idea for the genre NO WAVE 😆
@@nettlecider its an actual genre.
First time I heard of that was Cook-Cook from Fallout: New Vegas and learned it was a real thing after he SA'd a female character in the game an NCR member IIRC.
It sounds like an Electric Six song.
I still remember clicking on my first Wendigoon video, you were around 42k subs at the time. It’s pretty amazing to see a TH-camr go through so much success so quickly and still produces content that reminds you of why you clicked to begin with but also constantly improving the formula. Great video!
I remember joining the Wendigang right near the end of this iceberg and I was hooked. It's crazy how far you've come my guy, you're a great creator and I love every video you put out. You always take a very respectful approach to your topics and it shines through in these kinds of videos
I started following Wendi right after his divine comedy summary. I can't believe its been so long.
doing flips on it
i don’t see wendigoon’s comment about updated info, so i’m gonna do my best to compile the updates on trials, jail status, etc, here:
11:07 (Son of Sam) - still in prison, his parole hearing for May of 2024 was denied and his next hearing is scheduled for May 2026.
44:37 (Gary Ridgeway) - in January of 2024, the last known remains linked to Ridgeway were identified as belonging to 16-year-old Tammie Liles
1:03:30 (Robert Pickton) - on May 31, 2024, Pickton died at age 74 after he was attacked by another inmate on the 19th.
1:16:10 (Herbert Mullin) - on August 18, 2022, Mullin died at age 75 from natural causes
1:21:31 (Paul Bernardo) - Bernardo’s parole hearing was scheduled for February 2024, but i cannot find anything about what came of it
1:33:04 (Rodney Alcala) - on July 24, 2021, Alcala died at age 77 of unspecified natural causes
3:21:10 (Luis Garavito) - on October 12, 2023, Garavito died at age 66, possibly from terminal cancer
i may have missed some and there’s definitely details i’m overlooking, but i wanted to add what i could :)

David Parker Ray "The Toy Box Killer" really makes me sick. I never heard the story about the man divorcing his wife though. Imagine going through such a horrific r*pe then having your husband think you were a lying cheater...honestly she's better off without someone like him in her life.
He got the full story wrong. She was brought straight to her family by David himself. The police found her identity due to a tattoo the women had in a video he recorded. It was a unique tattoo and she came forth, not knowing that it even happened, it was all just a "dream"
@@swiftbombzz8018 David didn't bring her to her family, I'm pretty sure she was dumped off the side of the road or just left behind in general. She was identified in the video by a tattoo of a peach, I THINK. It's been a few months since I last heard the story
To add insult to injury, seeing his name forces me to contemplate his actions while involuntarily saying "I ain't afraid of no ghosts!" at the same time.
It’s an honour to be on a watch list with y’all

My grandpa actually served alongside William Bonin as a door gunner on a helicopter. They only went out a few times but my grandpa hated him and said he was weird.
What did he think when all of his crimes were publicly discovered?
Damn I'm just on that part. As someone who also served I'd hate him too
Drinking game (lvl impossible): take a shot everytime he says "to which"

"I can't wait to meet Wheneverdigoon at ToWhichCon!"
I'm actually a psychology major and I'm working with my professor on a research project about serial killers (studying patterns and similarities and whatnot) and we have to make a spreadsheet of them. I know you don't want to come off like you're romanticizing them but for me, this video is actually incredibly helpful because Google's only giving me the most infamous ones. So... thank you good sir
Thank the actual creator of the iceberg, which is not this guy.
I’m interested in the roles of female vs male aggressors. With sex crimes, for example, most of the female aggressors involved in these cases seem to be romantically involved with a male aggressor who is usually the ring leader. She usually finds and lures the victims to the male, and the sexual acts she performs seem to be more for the pleasure of her boyfriend. Of course, there are huge differences between male and female serial killers too. (Exceptions of course)
Apparently most serial killers had head injuries when they were young? Is this true because when I was tiny I got multiple head injuries lol
@@StanAndKylePlushmost likely not haha. I mean if you have thought of doing those things, definitely talk to someone professional but in no way would hitting your head in any way(or having any head injuries) do that. These people are just vile because they want to be. Fuck em🖕
@@lukelyons8716doesn’t undermine the amount of research/explanations this man gave for each one
Update on the Paul Bernardo case: He did not, in fact, make parole, and has been transferred to a higher security prison.
Edit: I was mistaken, he was actually transferred from high to medium security.
May he rot in hell
he got transfered from a high security prison to a medium security prison...
@@savanafehr5157 my apologies, the article I read stated it in a confusing way, saying basically he was transferred to medium security from high security.
Fun fact about Ed Kemper: Him and the police were very close. So much so they hung out with him at a bar where lots of police officers were regulars. Not only that, some officers gave him training cuffs, access to guns, and a fake badge. He applied to be a state trooper but he ended up being too tall/heavy. He was so close to them that when he tried to turn himself in, they didn't believe him 👍. when they eventually did pick him up, (very very very alleged/debated) he sat in the front seat
Ngl the fact he tried to be a cop and was one in everything but occupation and name makes way too much sense
@@airplanes_aren.t_realCops are killers too so it makes sense
Bias is real and effects everything. Were he a stranger that would be a reception not a warm gesture of uhm you sure you did it? You're like cool man
it was a bar where cops were frequently drinking :D not a "police only bar"....who would even make a bar where only cops would be allowed? :D that's cute :D

anybody else notice that too many of the child abusing criminals get strangely short sentences? I noticed that a lot with tcap too
I know right!? Even tho the whole world swears they sentence people worse with kids including but it's such bullshit, they don't get anything worse than a normal kidnapper would! It's mind boiling
@@Senrann I feel like the only punishment is other inmates if they even find out and even then they put them in protection if they keep getting beat up....they are protecting pedos Bru huh
😊
What is TCAP? And yeah, it’s almost like they don’t care about kids at all… IMHO as a survivor of abuse, it feels like something that should be second only to murder. When I was in the midst of my trauma, death seemed preferable - and I’m only glad now after years of therapy that I’m alive, but the way abuse destroys someone so systematically and thoroughly…. It haunts you. I can’t imagine how much worse it would be for someone who doesn’t have the resources or support to get help.
@@atsumehana8211 so true. I couldn't imagine no type of support or not being believed or just anything. TCAP is the show with Chris Hansen called To catch a predator where the dudes met fake online "decoys" who were just police using to it lure in predators. And they mostly got off with light sentences the worst part is that many of them were or became repeat offenders upwards of 3 times... But yeah let those mfs out lol
I'm so glad you discussed that Lucas was probably lying about most of his confessions. A lot of people miss this. I was just thinking, I think there is a story there about how we treat the unhoused. Lucas was homeless most of his life and working odd jobs wherever he could. It occurred to me that he probably found prison a better situation than freedom, so decided to ensure that he was never getting out.
Also he seems to have been at least somewhat mentally disabled/delayed, and was being heavily coached into confessing and being fed the relevant details by the Texas ranger who was 'responsible' for him. He tried to recant a lot of his confessions when he realised the death penalty was a possibility, and even had someone pretend to be his 'secretly still alive' girlfriend that he actually had murdered, to say that he had never murdered anyone except his mother. Having watched the Netflix doc on him and several interviews, he was most definitely lying about the majority of his crimes for the benefits, and just didn't have the capacity to think through what 'confessing to 100+ murders' actually meant
ye its true lots of homeless where I live jjus chin people in maccies so they can get sent back
When I lived in California, I remember seeing Richard Ramirez walking down a sidewalk near my home. He didn't look at me, but he had this cold deranged look on his face, and he looked like he was hurrying to get somewhere. I'll never forget this. I was genuinely frightened and shocked because his mugshot was all over the place so I immediately recognized him.
If true, consider yourself lucky. Like I know you already do.
But damn, it'd be a moment for sure.
Did you call the cops?
@@ZiggyPlayedGuitar1225why would they call police to testify seeing the guy walking down the street? And if you mean before the mugshot, regular people don't call police on others just because they look spooky
“And he killed women” “and he r@p3d women” “he stabbed random women” “any woman he attacked” bruh can we catch a break😭😭😭

did you just miss all the mention of the boys and men? tbh lets not make this a gender thing these people are evil yes some towards women but many towards boys and men theyre not any less of a victim just because theyre male

The fact you didn't talk about Von Einem is really nice touch. I visited Australia twice and unfortunately contrary to long distances between the cities and sometimes literall isolation of some places, they know this bastard everywhere. He is living horror.

I remember listening to the first tiers when it came out. I would listen to your videos when I did office cleaning at night. One time during cleaning I was listening to these tiers, naturally feeling a little bit on edge while cleaning alone at night. I’m guessing one of the office workers left something so they came back to grab it and gave me the biggest fright of my life. They apologised and we had a good laugh, I told them I was listening to serial killer “stories” and they laughed why I would listen to such things while cleaning alone, i questioned why myself as well after that hahah. Thanks for the good (somewhat scary) nostalgic memories!
They thought so highly of Kemper during his first run through the system, that the staff was allowing him to counsel other patient-inmates for their psychological issues. I learned a lot about him as told by my college professor years ago whom had professional access to Kemper (and many other SK's) due to working contractually with the government as a Forensic Criminal Psychologist and Profiler. The professor's name is Dr. Eric Hickey and has published a handful of in-depth books. He was technically my Sociology 101 Professor at our Community College so, needless to say, it was an unexpected 'treat' having this man teaching a night class at our city community College. He did also teach at the State University, but would occasionally teach semesters at 'lesser' status schools. So many fascinating stories and curriculum far beyond what's expected for a basic Sociology class.

I’ve never watched a Wendigoon video before but this felt like hanging out with an old friend and making jokes about dark stuff haha. I love it.
The fact that some of these monsters have a chance for parole is insane.

Even though you talk about disturbing topics half the time, you still managed to become my comfort youtuber 😂
Same here😂
Am I the only one who doesn’t notice a “change in quality” … it’s just as good as any other Wendi video IMO and I’m here for it. ❤
Yeah seriously, the camera is good. I think the new ones are an improvement, but it's a very good video nevertheless
Camera is fine; I wouldn’t have noticed a change in quality.
The lip sync is off though by juuust enough to be distracting
Ouch...
I think you should do an iceberg on the unsolved killers. I'd love to see that. Great video so far, so soothing its putting me to sleep but so intriguing I keep myself awake.

@@PumpkinQueenFlorence Thanks! I’ll have to watch. Been subbed since before 100k so I have no idea how I missed it lol.

Wendigoon, I wasn't sure what video to write this on but i wanted to say that when you jokingly ask "is everything okay at home" im now able to laugh and feel a lot better because when i originally started watching they weren't. I've been watching and loving every single one of your videos since around January 2021. Ever since then id put on your videos while i did other things and it was so therapeutic for me to be able to zone out on your videos and focus on something else whether it be the monument mythos, conspiracy theory icebergs, or my personal favorite Dante's Inferno. I remember almost coming to tears (ik... dramatic right? lol) after i had run out of videos to watch on the main channel. I'm sure you get thousands of messages like this and you might not see mine but i just want to add to the thousands and let you know that your content does have a much deeper impact for the positive on lives. Thank you.
I definitely hate as well that the media will often give these guys "cool" nicknames. Like maybe if we just started giving them names like "Asshole Sucker" or something else reflecting the cowards they actually are, then maybe there would be less people glorifying it, cause I have definitely seen a lot of people romanticize these terrible people way too much
Idk man it takes a lot to do the shit these guys did

@@frankharvey88same thing with the zodiac killer. Tbh, if a serial killer starts referring to themselves with a name…then that name gets reported on, and that becomes who they are. So yeah 😅
I want to add that the Golden State killer was caught with the advice from a woman who wrote a book about the situation, she unfortunately passed away shortly after writing it. It’s called “I’ll Be Gone in the dark“ and she recommended they use ancestral DNA to figure out who the killer was. Which ended up leading right to him if I recall correctly
